...and the problem, as you've surely heard about by now, is largely centered around her "Saturday Night Live" performance on January 14th, where she came off as awkward, clunky, and abjectly terrified. Much has been made about her wooden posture, drama-teacher jazz hands and the already infamous spin move, but to my mind the larger concern would be how forced and over enunciated her vocals were, as she was consistently unable to hit the outer registers of her range on either end. As a result, what were the best moments of the studio version of the tracks sounded the worst live.
Ugh, I can't help it. Im bored to death. It's like "daddy, buy me a hit record" oh "and I'm cross eyed!" Okay, she probably didn't say the second part, but hasn't anyone noticed???? The droning songs, the overplayed video; yawn, yawn yawn...
I hope Lana Del Rey, marries a nice investment banker and moves to, oh, I don't know, somewhere like Marina Del Rey where she can blend in with all the soccer moms, which is exactly what she was raised to be.
We sat down with Anne Pasternak for a few questions about Creative Time's past and future, as well as the importance of having an awareness about public art in the city.
